Our house is an 17th century cottage set within and Idyllic estate village. The cottage is very spacious and is cosy, clean and has very comfortable beds. The nearby countryside is just lovely for walks - Ideally located near the Addington Equestrian Centre.

The kitchen, dining room and living room are very spacious ideal for entertaining family and friends.

The cottage was beautiful and in a lovely location. Absolutely ideal for a relaxing getaway with family or friends! The cottage is actually bigger than we expected as well. Highly recommended

Lovely home, beautifully kept. A little tricky to find in the dark but Richards map made it easier, and he was there to wave us in! Lovely walks across fields to one great country pubs.

LizzNovember 2016

We wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Vine Cottage, having spent a blissfully relaxed weekend over the bank holiday there. The cottage is well equipped, beautifully decorated and in the enviable position of feeling both cosy and spacious at the same time - despite there being 6 of us, we didn't feel that we were falling over one another. Richard was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome - we particularly appreciated the photographic directions. We arrived at night and, given the rural location, they proved to be a lifesaver!

NadineSeptember 2016

Our stay at Richard's cottage was very nice indeed. Very comfortable beds, coasy living room and beautiful cottage in general. richard bought some breakfast, which was very convenient. Fantastic stay for any event at Silverstone. Thank you!

MoritzAugust 2016

Vine Cottage is a gorgeous house in an enviable location. It is extremely well equipped with large entertaining spaces and beautifully decorated, making our stay relaxing and totally hassle free. The rural location is perfect for long walks and the garden makes for an excellent setting for a BBQ. Richard was extremely welcoming and the house was immaculate when we arrived. We would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay for people looking to relax and enjoy the countryside.

Three bedroom bungalow . Great country gastropub in village. Many walks with views. Friendly village. Only a short drive to Milton Keynes - with amazing shopping, cinemas, indoor snow slope, Airkixx, rock wall, restaurants and clubs.

Spacious, warm home. Great for New Year's getaway. On and off-road parking for many cars.
All of house and children's playhouse.
We will be in Dorset but our neighbor Glenda, a retired nurse, will look after you if you need anything.

Very safe, peaceful, lots of walks, amazing pub and children's playground in village. Three other pubs in walking range. Two of England's finest country houses within 15 minutes drive (Stowe and Steeple Claydon - Florence Nightingales house - both open to public)
Best to drive here (easy to find) but you can take the Virgin Pendolino train to Milton Keynes and a Taxi from there. Takes about an hour from Central London to our door.

Spacious, comfortable country retreat in small historic village less than an hour from London and 20 mins from Milton Keynes and Silverstone. Award winning gastropub just a couple of minutes walk away. Many lovely walks from the front door.

The beautiful village of Adstock is placed midway between Oxford, Cambridge and London seemingly in the heart of the English countryside but actually within a short drive of some of Europe's finest visits and shopping. Great if you want to visit London but want more space and peace and quiet, and great if you want to get away from London, but not spend hours driving.
We have a well equipped kitchen, but you can easily survive without cooking at all with a super restaurant and bar food in the pub next door, and food deliveries (groceries from Tesco or the British takeaway favorites of Pizza, Indian & Chinese) available at the door.
The Chestnuts is a modern bungalow in the the historic conservation are in the center of Adstock and is the only modern house in the center. As you approach the main crossroads in the village turn east (right if you have not passed the pub) and the Chestnuts is the first house on the left. In the garden is the huge horse chestnut tree that dominates the center of the village.
You can turn into the drive ( it slopes upwards). The old village green is to the left of the drive - that's our front garden and good for playing sports and ball games. Our old Jaguar and Saab are at the top of the drive in front of the green double garage doors.
Walk up the steps to your right, past our big glassy "office" where we work when we are home, and follow the steps around to the sliding doors.
Once inside, you'll find yourself in our book lined hallway. Ahead of you on a shelf is a 50 million year old fossil fish and a model X-15 (to remind the kids what amazing things people can achieve). To your left is the main living room. Sharp left is the shower room. Ahead is the kitchen and to the right the bathroom and master bedroom.
The master bedroom is furnished in a minimalist style. Overhead lights operate over the bed with a switch next to the beds. There is an iPod/iPhone dock at the head of the bed. Be careful with the blinds, they are a little complex.
The bathroom has brass/gold fitting tiled walls and an elegant Victorian style bath. There is a bookcase with children's books outside the door.
Heading back to the entrance area the kitchen is to your right. It is spacious and charmingly pine paneled. The second bedroom leads off the kitchen on the left with twin beds - giving privacy between the bedrooms.
Back in the hall again and facing the front door the living room is on the right. This large comfortable room has a 42" plasma TV connected to a mac. You can watch Netflix or listen to music with Spotify all through high spec Harmon Kardon speakers and using the 42" display.
Next to the TV is a gas log fire. Just reach around to the top right of the fire to turn it on or off with the simple switch. It looks completely convincing but is safer and easier than a real fire. On the right of the room are sliding doors that lead out onto a secluded patio with vines growing on sheltering walls, good for breakfast, barbecues or dining al fresco.
We generally only rent out our home when we are away on holiday so we don't interact a lot, but if you like a chat, our neighbour Glenda looks after the house for us and is very friendly.
We aim to give and get five star reviews throughout. Please contact Glenda or ourselves immediately if you have any problems.

This is a wonderful rural village only a hour from London, Oxford and Cambridge. It makes a great retreat from the big city with many fine walks and a splendid country pub just a few minutes away. The area is essentially 100% crime free and there are areas with very little traffic which are safe for cycling or walking.
Comfortable Virgin Pendolino high speed trains go from the nearest city, Milton Keynes to central London taking 35 mins from Milton Keynes Station to London. You can take a bus from Buckingham or a cab to or from the station. There is also safe off road parking in our driveway.
There are X5 coaches from Buckingham to Oxford (stopping at Bicester Village) and Cambridge (stopping at Milton Keynes and the train station) about every half hour.
Many good local walks from the front door include:
Padbury http://www.mapmywalk.com/gb/buckingham-eng/padbury-walk-route-4883019
Great Horwood http://www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walks/walks/walk_a/2755/
And others just a few minutes drive away.
http://www.bucksgeology.org.uk/pdf_files/Walk1_Coombs_Thornboro.pdf
We are generally pet free, but ask first if you have a small, clean pet and we will try to accommodate.
The property is very well placed for the Silverstone Grand Prix and Silverstone Circuit.

The location is amazing, the back garden needs to be better and needs fixing

HusainAugust 2015

It was really easy to organise and the hosts were incredibly helpful and accommodating and very quick to respond. Cute house in a very cute village, with a fantastic pub/bistro right around the corner. Also very central for lots of National Trust and other heritage properties. Would recommend.

JackieAugust 2015

This stay was marvellous. Beth was a wonderful host, as befitting such a beautiful home in a picture postcard village. From the moment of booking to when we arrived for our stay, to when we left, Beth was both friendly and accommodating. Her home is spacious, clean and pretty, while the village, replete with delightful thatched cottages and a lovely historic pub is the epitome of bucolic charm. I had a a fantastic time, and would certainly recommend this rustic retreat to others.

AlexJanuary 2016

The house is located in a very nice countryside area. It's exactly as described and very big. The only downside is that it would need a lot more attention on the cleaning.

PaoloAugust 2015

What a great place for families with kids! Spacious, tidy and safe enough for little ones to explore. As this is a functional family home, we had no problem finding all necessary household items making our stay stress-free. And hosts' home library was absolutely marvellous, as well as variety of entertainment activities. We did not get to meet our host on arrival, but Beth was very kind to help familiarise with the property over the phone and also left very detailed booklet guide with useful instructions and local hotspots. You are guaranteed to enjoy your stay here!

Lovely location. Really nice little accommodation, ideal for 2. Swan Pub was great. If you want to eat at the Crown book in advance! Thanks for all the extras too!

Louise was very easy to get hold of and when we arrived showed us round the barn which was absolutely lovely! We had a fab stay and went to one of the pubs in the village for dinner. It was just the quiet getaway we needed. Thanks very much for a great stay!

AmyFebruary 2016

I've stayed here numerous times now and it would always be first/preferred choice when staying in this region. The Barn is wonderfully well equipped and the hosts are great to deal with. Hopefully a good few more visits in the future! Jon

Richard was a great host, making us feel welcome as soon as we step through the door. The room was spacious, very clean and beautifully decorated. We stayed here 1 night for a wedding and Richard was very relaxed with what time we arrived, letting us check in early if we needed and letting us check out at a later time in the morning. It was a pleasure stay at Vine Cottage, thank you for having us :)

Lovely, friendly hosts and a beautiful home. Richard provided great directions and was there on hand when I managed to somehow still get lost. More than accomodating for our motorcycles and especially for the mounds of wet clothing we brough back after a soggy day at Silverstone. Fresh berries and crossiants for breakfast were lovely touches to finish off our stay

Ian's house was absolutely incredible to stay in! Their family home has been converted into the most comfortable B&B, with very cosy beds, really nice high-pressure shower, and beautiful natural light coming in through the window. Ian, his wife and her mother were a delight to meet! My friend Dina and I had been cycling in Buckinghamshire over the bank holiday weekend, and upon arrival to their home we were able to shower up and head down for dinner -- a home cooked meal! After cycling all day, it was exactly what we needed. The kindness lasted throughout the evening and into the morning with a lovely breakfast and a surprise like take-away cake to eat while on the road. When I mentioned my bicycle tire had popped the day before, Ian even went out of his way to find me the tool I had needed - just in case I had issues with my tire again. Thank you so much Ian!

Mardi's home is very spacious, the room is larger than many double rooms I have stayed in. I never met Mardi, as she and I had different schedules, but the other people staying there permanently were very pleasent and helpful. Communication with Mardi, was prompt and also very helpful. The small town of Winslow looks amazing, with many fine old buildings, and wonderful looking pubs and shops. I saw busses passing quite late into the evening, so it's relatively easy to get to. If I had only one town to in which introduce an overseas traveller to England, I would choose this one. I say all this 'looks' amazing, because I never had a chance to explore, due to work commitments, but I would love to come back.

convenient for Silverstone or Bicester Village. 45 mins from Oxford, and 10 mins from the Historic towns of Buckingham and Winslow.
But if you want to get away from the bustle of town altogether? This place is a haven of tranquility with the sights and sounds of nature all around.
There is also the possibility of enjoying an activity break. ( I host Ceramic workshops)
Its perfect for couples, solo adventurers, or business travellers.

I live above my studio in this delightful 300 year old listed building. Parking space on the drive.
The courtyard garden is the perfect place for breakfast or to just chill with a good book.
If you would like to learn some skills with clay, I also host sculpture workshops ( booked separately) if interested please message for details.
The room is private with shared bathroom, access and use of lounge and kitchen included. Snacks and drinks available but bring your own wine. :)
We are surrounded by beautiful landscapes with lakes and a lot of wildlife.
There is little noise and zero light pollution as we are away from any main roads.
Everything with exception of my room is yours to use while you visit. There is no TV streaming except by catchup but there are videos and Internet available.
As much or as little as desired. I live alone with my cat Mikey, so used to solitude.
I will share a meal with you or provide one and discreetly leave you to your own devices.

The quiet peaceful countryside, the sound of birds, no traffic noise and the fresh air.
Lakes that reflect our gorgeous sunsets
Transport is limited you need a car to get around.
I can do short notice a few hours heads up will be fine.

Lovely welcome and very well looked after by Lucinda, who made me feel completely at home. The engaging conversation with a glass of something was much appreciated in the attractive courtyard garden, and I slept well in the comfortable bed provided. Lucinda's culinary skills are a blessing for the hungry traveller, and I look forward to staying again.

It was really wonderful staying with Lucinda. She was very welcoming, cooked some delicious food, and made me feel very at home. We had a nice time chatting and laughing about all sorts of things!

NatashaSeptember 2016

If you are looking for a superb Airbnb host who stands head and shoulders above most then Lucinda is your host. I arrived in the location and instantly was impressed with the views, the tranquility and historical side to the building. The accommodation was second to none and if you have an artistic side Lucinda may well spin her potters wheel. Overall Lucinda is an outstanding host, she asks and caters for your personal requirements as best as possible and I would certainly recommend this Airbnb accommodation. You really won't be disappointed.

I am an artist and a lover if all beautiful things. I like to share my passion for art with my guests. Winslow is a lovely market village with plenty of little shops, tea houses and deli's. Once you have finished browsing the Winslow delight's I offer art lessons.

The host canceled this reservation 26 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Paula was very welcoming, she gave clear directions and instructions and both Paula and her daughter (who originally let us in) were lovely and friendly. Paula's home is a sight to behold, it is genuinely Alice Through The Looking Glass territory. Paula is an artist and her home is her gallery. Pink is definitely her favourite colour, I can't imagine what the carpet salesman must have thought :-) The only real negative for us (husband and wife) was the two single beds. If you are travelling on your own, or with a friend, definitely stay with Paula as she will make you feel very welcome.

My place is close to the town centre, a 10-minute walk through the park. Buckingham is well placed for Buckingham University (obviously!), Silverstone Race Track and not far from MIlton Keynes. It is a detached house in a quiet area backing onto a large parkland area. Would suit couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers.
It is a busy house (3 kids), but it gets quiet early.

A bright and spacious double room with a comfortable king sized bed. There is plenty of wardrobe and drawer space for anyone on a longer stay.
The bedroom is private and solely for the guest's use. There is a "family" bathroom for the guest's use. We can "book" this to ensure unhindered access.
Guests are welcome to use the kitchen and laundry. There is also a sitting room, where we spend most evenings, and guests are welcome to join us. Additionally, there is a playroom which guests can use in the evening. It has a TV with Sky and many books which can be borrowed for the duration of the stay.
If you need anything we will typically be on hand and happy to help if we can.

Our area is very quiet. There is very little noise beyond the birds. The house backs onto the park in the heart of Buckingham, and you can get to the town centre with a pleasant 10 minute walk, There are a number of really nice bars in town as well as a decent variety of eating options.
Silvertone is only 10 minutes away. Milton Keynes is about a 20-minute drive, depending on traffic and Oxford about 40. In terms of public transport the X5 service stops in town. This is an excellent service running from Oxford to Cambridge and stops in Bicester, Buckingham, MIlton Keynes and Bedford. There is also a local X60 service which runs between Aylesbury and Milton Keynes via Buckingham.
Milton Keynes Central train station gives plenty of transport options. Trains from MKC to London Euston can be as quick as 30 minutes. There are also fast trains north to Birmingham and Manchester. Virgin and London Midland are the two train operators working out of MKC.
If you prefer buses, MIlton Keynes Coachway offer excellent connections.
As mentioned, this is a family home. Things can be a little hectic in the early evening, but everything has usually quietened down by 7 or 8. During school-time the day starts early, but is usually pretty quiet.
There is a Bearded Dragon in a vivarium in the living room and there is also a cat roaming "his" house.

Very friendly family.

It was absolutely fantastic to have the opportunity to have stayed with Hilary and her wonderful family. Hilary was very accomodating and was more than happy to help out with any problem I may have had. Coming to Buckingham and staying there for the first time, I would highly recommend staying with Hilary! She was an absolute delight to speak to, and it was an honour to have been able to stay with her.

The house is very near the town great for shopping .

We had a very nice stay with Hillary for one night. She welcomed us with a very nice cup of English tea and showed us our room and bathroom. The small city Buckingham has a nice centre with a lot of restaurants, the city is just 5 minutes by feet.

A quiet cottage retreat; beautiful one bedroomed riverside cottage with no vehicular access, yet right in the middle of town two minutes walk from the university, restaurants and gastro-pubs. WIFI, woodburner and beautiful riverside garden. River Cottage is in the centre of the photograph with an open door and window above.

We offer this tiny one bedroomed cottage as a quiet retreat, not "just a room" or a B and B. Ideal for a romantic weekend, to enjoy the wildlife in the garden, or to visit nearby National Trust properties at Stowe, Waddesdon and Claydon or to visit Silverstone, Oxford and Milton Keynes. Oxford is 45 minutes by car, and Milton Keynes is 20 minutes by car. River Cottage is a typical small English country cottage.
This beautiful, bijou, one bedroomed riverside cottage first recorded as a 'dwelling' in 1574 and rebuilt of limestone in 1834 (limestone which was reputedly intended for the rebuilding of Buckingham's Old Gaol). River Cottage sits in a terrace of six similar stone cottages, on this lovely spot beside the River Ouse; right in the heart of Buckingham yet only a two minute walk from the university, first class restaurants and gastro-pub. The bedroom is furnished with a double bed, and the lounge can accommodate up to two extra guests on a sofa bed. Silverstone lies 6 miles to the north, Milton Keynes is 7 miles away, and Oxford, Aylesbury and the Chilterns are all a short drive from Buckingham.
The cottage sleeps two people in a double bed with private bathroom, plus up to two additional guests on a sofa bed in the lounge, and is equipped with WIFI, television, fridge, microwave, cooker, washing machine, bath, shower, wood-burning stove with a log supply, outdoor patio and additional seating on the river bank under the willow tree. It offers a peaceful wildlife haven in Buckingham's secret quarter. Among our frequent visitors are goldcrests, wrens, kingfishers, bats and hedgehogs.
Guests have exclusive use of the cottage during their stay, and are welcome to use all areas of the garden with riverside seating under the willow tree, and a covered patio with large dining table. We ask that our guests respect the peace and tranquility of our neighbours and the resident wildlife.
The cottage is approach via a long, uneven and sloping path leading off Well Street, and has no vehicular access. It is unsuitable for disabled access or for persons with restricted mobility.
We are happy to help and advise our guests, but will leave you alone to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Buckingham is a small but vibrant country market town with a busy university and resident community (Buckingham is home to the UK's only private university). All amenities are within walking distance and we are close to many National Trust properties as well as theatres in Milton Keynes, Oxford and Aylesbury. The Film Place screens a wide selection of films every Friday and Saturday. For musical offerings visit Stowe, The Stables MK, Milton Keynes and Oxford.
Buses run regularly from the town centre (approximately 10 minutes walk). The X5 operates between Oxford - Buckingham - Milton Keynes and Cambridge with departures every 30 minutes; Trains from Milton Keynes to London Euston: 35 minutes. Oxford is a 1 hour bus journey on the X5 or a 45 minute drive.
Parking near the cottage is "on road". There is no direct vehicular access to the cottage, and we are happy to advise guests on the best place to park. Temporary parking is always available alongside the footpath to load and unload, and a cart is provided to transport heavy suitcases.
Please not that there is only one bedroom with a double bed to sleep two people. A sofa bed is available in the lounge sleeping up to two additional guests, an additional fee is charged to cover the additional laundry costs (see pricing).
The cottage is situated well away from the road in a quiet backwater; there is no direct vehicular access, and the cottage is approached via a long, sloping and uneven footpath. A handcart is available to assist with luggage transfer.

Myself and my girlfriend had a great time at the cottage and Sue greeted us on arrival to show us some local places to eat. The cottage was perfect for our stay and we will be back soon for another retreat from London. Alex

Sue made us feel really welcome and was always on hand if we needed anything. The cottage is really cosy and the garden is huge. It was a really nice escape from London and I only wish we'd stayed longer. It was even suitable for our 9 month old baby. Thanks Sue!

We had a lovely time at the cottage. A perfect, relaxing break from London. Sue was a warm, welcoming and considerate host. We would definitely come again!

Sue was incredibly welcoming and the cottage is lovely. Great location, stunning garden - a great place for a quiet weekend, but close to local shops and restaurants.

Wow! An utterly delighful cottage in a beautiful part of the world. The hosts are lovely people who made us feel so welcome. A cosy home from home. The cottage has a lovely garden with the river right at the bottom; a tranquil place to escape the hustle and bustle. A central location, yet peaceful and quiet; just a short walk into the stylish market town of Buckingham. Villiers Hotel is the perfect place to sink into a comfy sofa with a coffee, or have a glass of wine by the open fire. We cannot recommend this gem of a cottage highly enough ten out of ten on every aspect.

The cottage is in a lovely quite spot, its small, one bedroom, I slept on the very comfy sofa bed downstairs and my friends in the bedroom upstairs, the garden is lovely with the river at the bottom. I would recommend it
